My method differs form Randall's, proving only there are many ways to
get to the same place.
On a vinyl top (don't know if this would work with Sunfast) I first
punch a 3/16" hole where I want the peg to come thru. Then I align the
top piece of the female fastener with that hole -- the whole works
perched over a hunk of soft wood such as the end grain of a very short
2x4. I then put a length of wood dowel against the fasterner and smack
it with a hammer... the prongs are sharp enough they poke right thru the
vinyl w/o any cutting. This gives it the holes just where they need to
be and no bigger than necessary.
I fit the bottom half of the fastener, press firmly in its center (to
assure it is tight against the other half) and fold over the tabs one at
a time with the piece of wood dowel.
